Sec. 205.5  Computation of time.

    (a) Days. (1) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, 
in computing any period of time prescribed or allowed by these 
regulations or by an order of the DOE or a State Office, the day of the 
act, event, or default from which the designated period of time begins 
to run is not to be included. The last day of the period so computed is 
to be included unless it is a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal legal holiday 
in which event the period runs until the end of the next day that is 
neither a Saturday, Sunday, nor a Federal legal holiday.
    (2) Saturdays, Sundays or intervening Federal legal holidays shall 
be excluded from the computation of time when the period of time allowed 
or prescribed is 7 days or less.
    (b) Hours. If the period of time prescribed in an order issued by 
the DOE or a State Office is stated in hours rather than days, the 
period of time shall begin to run upon actual notice of such order, 
whether by verbal or written communication, to the person directly 
affected, and shall run without interruption, unless otherwise provided 
in the order, or unless the order is stayed, modified, suspended or 
rescinded. When a written order is transmitted by verbal communication, 
the written order shall be served as soon thereafter as is feasible.
    (c) Additional time after service by mail. Whenever a person is 
required to perform an act, to cease and desist therefrom, or to 
initiate a proceeding under this part within a prescribed period of time 
after issuance to such person of an order, notice, interpretation or 
other document and the order, notice, interpretation or other document 
is served by mail, 3 days shall be added to the prescribed period.
